“Fantastic family orientated.”

Great place to stay. Kelso, Hawick, Melrose and Galashiels just a drive away.
The village of Lilliesleaf is a nice walk for those that like to walk. A short drive for those who don't. Will be returning as it is a lovely place to stay.

Mrs Purves was very kind and her father had made a wonderfully warm fire ready for our arrival.
The woodland setting was ideal and we really enjoyed our holiday, despite the cold weather.
